After three months of it global debut, Taiwanese smartphone maker on Friday finally launched the dual-core powered HTC One Mini in India.

During the launch, HTC India, Country Head, Faisal Siddiqui said "We are proud to be behind the market's leading smartphone and now, with the addition of the HTC One mini, the best smartphone family in the world." reported AndroidOS.in.

"The HTC One mini embodies everything that makes the HTC One a success on a smaller but equally eye-catching scale," he added.

HTC One Mini sports a 4.3-inch Super LCD 3 screen with HD (720x1280p) resolution having pixel density of 341 ppi (pixels per inch) and ships with Android v4.2 Jelly Bean OS with HTC custom UI (User-Interface) Sense v5.0.

Under-the-hood, it packs Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 series dual-core CPU, Adreno 305 graphics engine, 1GB RAM and 16GB inbuilt memory.

Like its elder sibling (4.7-inch HTC One), the mini variant too boasts of the new innovative 2.0-UltraPixel camera (equivalent 4.0-megapixel) on the rear side with dedicated image processor 2 and a 1.6-megapixel front-facing camera.

HTC One Mini comes with a hefty price-tag of ₹36,790 (MRP), which many believe is over-priced considering the fact that there are many high-end smartphones in the market that are offered for a much lesser price. Case in point, Google Nexus 4, Samsung Galaxy S3, Sony Xperia Z, LG Optimus G and LG Optimus G Pro, all boasting quad-core processor can be purchased for much less than ₹35,000.
